Secretary Chertoff and Director Paulison have both stated that the
FEMA housing that was provided to Hurricane Katrina and Rita can be
purchased by anyone from RV and mobile home dealers. These statements
may be be less than honest, as FEMA had many of the toxic trailers
manufactured to specifications provided by FEMA. The questionable
FEMA (ADA-UFUS) designed units were used to house the disabled and
injured survivors. The FEMA units are suspected to contain the
formaldehyde emitting products that were made in China.
